Summary:

"This edited collection is about poverty, social exclusion and vulnerability in educational contexts at a time of rising inequality when policy research suggests that such issues are being ignored or distorted within neoliberal logics. Using a range of theories and methodologies, this book addresses these issues through three main themes: 'What are our (better) explanations for the persistent nature of educational inequality?'; 'What do we know about how schools and teachers can improve engagement and success in schools serving vulnerable communities?'; and 'How might we reframe research, policy and practice in the future?"-- Provided by publisher.
